Yes, I got the dates wrong... I feel sheepish now. It is the 27th and 28th. Thanks for the check and cheque!

I must admit that when I train I do want to use my brains as well as my body. I am not teaching as we already have three teaching sensei. Which means that I am left in normal classes doing the same old stuff over and over again. Don't get me wrong, practice makes perfect but I sure like some novelty in what I do.

Of course, Scott's dojo is ``only'' an hour away by car and I should go there more often. But between work, social life and money it can get difficult to take most of a day to get there: two hours driving, two hours training, an hour social time... It's the day gone.

I think there's a new year resolution coming: train at Sheffield once a month!
